Title: KML Change Request, Index addressable placemarks
Source: jackgrat2005@verizion.net
Work item code: Date: September 14, 2008
Category: B
Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.
Reason for change: Placemarks could be more like style – the index pointer selects a placemark from a linked list of places that can be defined in the document (as opposed to a link).
Summary of change: ListStyle type to extend radio folder type to multi-selector folders
Each Folder then includes list of pointers to the placemarks for that folder, but does not contain the placemarks themselves. Application to complex data type that can be divided by color, structure, size, etc.
Consequences if
not approved: Currently Network Links are only solution – remote server returns only the placemarks that fit the selection requested. Or duplicate placemarks are created for nearly all at each level of division in the folder hierarchy.

Fill out the above form. The symbols above marked contain pop-up help information about the field that they are closest to.
Obtain the latest version for the release of the specification to which the change is proposed. Use the MS Word "revision marks" feature (also known as "track changes") when making the changes. All Open GIS specifications can be downloaded from the OGC server under
http://www.opengeospa tial.org/specs/
If a Word version of the document is not available, please contact the TCC or his designee. With "track changes"
disabled, paste the entire CR form (use CTRL-A to select it) into the specification just in front of the clause containing the first piece of changed text. Delete those parts of the specification that are not relevant to the change request.
